3,2,1 to being told that bushmccainromney are no different than Obama. Not ideal none of them, but we currently live in a national embarrasment. I think the S. Rice appointment is a new high bar set in the embarrassment olympics.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

I won't call that an embarrassment. What I will call it is something that won't get through the APS cuss filters.

Dubya isn't derogatory.  It's used by supporters and detractors alike and even appears to be endorsed by Bush himself on this page:http://www.nndb.com/group/750/000091477/

If you scroll down, you see the specific nicknames GWB applied to those around him.  Dubya and Bushie are listed for himself.

And what nicknames does Obama approve for himself? My guess would be none, unless it's "your Highness".

GWB would have been better on the economy, but got the Big Data Surveillance State into high gear.  BHO merely flipped the nitrous oxide switch.

McCain is every bit an economic ignoramus as BHO, every bit as cavalier about civil liberties, and even more bellicose.  Dude has an odd form of Tourettes in that he can't get through a conversation without calling for someone to be bombed.

Romney would have been better on the economy and not as embarrassing, but was pretty much a squish elsewhere.

All of the three despise actual Americans to the point where they want to flood & replace us with a third world peasantry.

I could, but I'd probably short out the word filter.

Bush was a patriot act disaster to be sure, but 3 out of 4 of those people loved their country, we could have at least worked on the details of their flawed visions. Our president hates America and that's sad.

We do understand that Bush didn't author nor request nor oversee the writing of the Patriot Act, right?

We do get this?

We further understand that Joe Biden has publicly taken credit for authoring the Patriot Act?  Yes?

Yes, Bush signed it.  He sure as hell hadn't read it, and it sounded like a good "DO SOMETHING!" remedy.  But blaming him for it?  Meh.  Not so much.

Signed it, defended it, and I believe passed the re-auth on it. Executive wears it, military 101.

Now, consider people we appoint. Bush: John Roberts, John Bolton. Obama: Elena Kagan, Susan Rice.

If he vetoed the bill it would not be in effect today giving cover to fascists.

The Patriot Act is his responsibility.

Sad, yes.  But...

If they loved their country, they wouldn't try to replace and cornhole their countrymen.  Action, not outward sentimentality, is what I care about.

I'm not going to say he bears no responsibility,  but look at the yeas and nays. A veto would NOT have prevented its enactment.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought
